The partnership will focus on the bank's Jingyitong initiative, which lets users swipe a chip-enabled card at hospitals to obtain medical care and other services, Tencent and Bank of Beijing said on Wednesday.

In January, Tencent began trial operations of its WeBank service to issue loans to individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. The service is endorsed by the Chinese government, which is seeking to gradually open the banking sector dominated by state giants.
